Executive Summary
The sixth cohort of our Female Student Internship Program (FSIP), the last group for the year 2025, is made up of four young women leaders - two students from the University of Juba, and two others from Makerere Institute for Social Development and Uganda Christian University, respectively. This is the first time we have admitted two interns from South Sudan's biggest public university - The University of Juba.
The new cohort of interns took up Human Resource (HR) Officer, Finance and Administration Officer, Communications Officer and Project Officer internship roles for four months, executing their tasks in a hybrid work mode (both remotely and in-person).

Piloted in January 2024, the Female Student Internship Program (FSIP) is a three-month initiative to nurture the leadership potential of female South Sudanese final-year students or fresh graduates from higher learning institutions. This highly competitive program provides successful candidates with a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience by working on project activities closely with our team while receiving mentorship, skill development, and networking opportunities.
In 2025 alone, we admitted nineteen (19) students - some fresh graduates and others final year students and twelve (12) students completed all requirements, hence fostering their leadership skills, self-confidence, and a strong sense of civic responsibility, preparing them to become positive change agents and future leaders, contributing to South Sudan’s social, economic, and political development. At least 47% of internees transitioned into new roles between one and three months after completing our program, and 13% have been retained at the organisation as volunteer staff.
